It is very evident if you walk around our beautiful city of Denver that we are quite a city for the dogs and I mean that in the literal sense. Everywhere you go, furry, four-legged friends are scurrying around enjoying everything this beautiful city and state have to offer just as much as we humans do. I know my family and I are our two dogs enjoy weekend getaways and dog-friendly events around town during the summer. Below is a list of some places that are dog-friendly to stay (for any out of town guests who may need a hotel) and a list of places to take your pups or events going on that they can attend:

 

Dog-Friendly Hotels:

This unique downtown Denver hotel has a shout-out board for all it’s K-9 club members with their name and picture for when they check in with you. And let’s not forget the ‘Scooby Snack’ pack your furry companion will also receive which includes ice cream, a pick-up bag, a toy and food/water bowls for use while they stay.
